This series of papers comprises a systematic exploration of the hypothesis that the far ultraviolet radiation from star clusters and elliptical galaxies originates from extremely hot horizontal-branch (HB) stars and their post-HB progeny. This first paper presents an extensive grid of calculations of stellar models from the Zero Age Horizontal Branch through to a point late in post-HB evolution or a point on the white dwarf cooling track. We use the term `Extreme Horizontal Branch' (EHB) to refer to HB sequences of constant mass that do not reach the thermally-pulsing stage on the AGB. These models evolve after core helium exhaustion

  1. Multiple populations along the asymptotic giant branch: a Gaia+APOGEE study of 22 Galactic globular clusters

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    In nine of 22 globular clusters the most extreme second-population stars are underrepresented on the AGB relative to the RGB, with anomalous stars showing even stronger AGB-manqué signatures.

    MESA models show residual hydrogen envelope mass sets effective temperature on the horizontal branch, with maximum values of 0.05-0.30 solar masses to avoid later thermally pulsing AGB evolution, plus explanations for...
